i went ahead and belt carried my izula at work the last few days, in the new sharpshooter sheath. it stays covered enough that none of the sheep i work with freak out. the knife can be deployed and re-sheathed one-handed, not quite as fast as re-sheathing with the stock sheath, but it's got a more secure hold on the knife, too. and leather's just awesome. i'm liking it more and more.
been carrying it with an izula firesteel from KSF:thumbup:. i've never used a firesteel before, but it was easy to figure out. set a couple of tinder bundles ablaze today. i'm a little nervous about the steel falling out of the loop. it's probably because i've never used a firesteel loop before monday. the steel hasn't fallen out yet, but i think i'll glue a wooden bead to one end just in case. they come 3 to a pack, so if i do lose one, i've got extras.
